Kora and Minnie are best friends. And honors students. And are plotting something involving a lot of money and a little blood. When their volatile relationship is threatened by Minnie’s friendship with awkward YouTube sensation Megan, all bets are off. In the tradition of Heathers and The Virgin Suicides, Honors Students asks one question: Who will survive?

I'm over the moon to be directing a reading of friend Hannah Vaughn's play, A House of Tiny, at Dixon Place on Wednesday, September 5. I was privileged to watch this play unfold in our Writers Group and am eager to share it with all of you.

Tiny-house dwellers Jake and Isabelle find their lives unraveling when their beloved king abdicates the throne and an evil steward rises to power. Isabelle sends Jake on a quest to bring their hero king back. Jake returns empty-handed and finds Isabelle and the kingdom falling apart. As the situation gets desperate, they turn to extreme measures to restore order to the kingdom.

Run time is about 35-40 minutes. We hope that you’ll stick around after the reading and share a drink with us at the bar!​The Dixon Place Lounge is open before, during and after the show. Bar proceeds directly support DP’s artists and mission.​Come have a drink after work and enjoy some theater!

​How can you live your own destiny if you're "Woody's Order!", and have been told since birth that your destiny is to be thy brother's keeper? A screening of the documentary with excerpts of the play introduces Ann, Woody, Mom, Dad, Elizabeth Taylor, and special souls who helped Ann come to grips with what real destiny means. Written & performed by Ann Talman.

Presented as part of the 2018 Speak Up, Rise Up Storytelling Festival.

I am delighted to be directing long time collaborator Soomi Kim's solo show MLCG (My Little China Girl) at Dixon Place this November!

When David Bowie died, performing artist Soomi Kim was suddenly reminded of her own coming of age as a Korean American in the MTV generation and her adolescent desire to be the exotic Asian woman in Bowie's China Girl video. MLCG is a high octane solo performance that traverses Kim's experiences as a first generation Korean American navigating the tyranny of Western perceptions of beauty; the absence of Asians in mainstream American media; and the dearth of Asian heroines in American narratives.

Music director Robert Frost has played a lot of cabarets. He has also played a lot of musicals. He has also played classes and concerts and auditions and lessons and coachings. He has played the piano a lot. Now, he is singing and someone else is playing the piano. Joined by music director Evan Zavada and director Leta Tremblay, Robert is going to stand in front of the piano and sing a lot of songs that he likes. He may also include one joke about his name, but you should feel free to include as many as you like.

Gen and Mabel like each other. A whole lot. So why can’t this relationship seem to get off the ground? As they try to shortcut their way to intimacy by baring their souls, they break each other’s hearts repeatedly in tiny, devastating ways – and then come back together. A story about trust, lust, and the quest for connection.

It is my great pleasure to be directing the US Premiere of French Canadian playwright David Paquet's Porcupine, a multiple award-winning dark comedy exploring our needs for love… can we touch it without getting stung?

Is love just a habit we want to create as an answer to loneliness? Or is it a real encounter with ourselves and the other? Porcupine looks at what we, human beings, strive for and the painful, sometimes pathetic quests we set ourselves on as we deal with the absurdity of false hopes and our attempts at pushing away a fate that repeats itself endlessly.

I'm directing six brand new one-minute plays in this year's New York Indie Theatre One-Minute Play Festival at The New Ohio!

"Over 100 members of our community have given their time and talents to create this body of work. We will be presenting 60 brand new plays all reflecting on what it means to be an American in our current social and political climate. We are creating this space as a response to our country, city, neighborhood(s), and artistic community as it is right now. It's an opportunity to look at the bigger picture: what's being said by the group. What all of this work says about each other, and about our reality right now. It's a chance to think about how we might start to design the world we want to live in, by seeding those conversations through our art and actions."

Center for the Art of Performance at University of California Los Angeles (CAP UCLA), in partnership with the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra (LACO), welcomes back NYC’s SITI Company with an all-new production of Kurt Weill’s Lost in the Stars directed by Anne Bogart with music direction by Jeffrey Kahane.

For his final Broadway score, Weill gave passionate voice to this powerful, uncompromising social indictment of apartheid South Africa. He and his librettist Maxwell Anderson adapted Alan Paton’s great novel Cry, the Beloved Country for the Broadway stage in 1949. The work, which was widely acknowledged as one of the most important works of that season and a landmark in the history of American musical theater, ran for more than 300 performances. However, when the producers learned that for the planned national tour the black cast members were denied the right to stay in the same hotels as the white cast members, the national tour was cancelled, and as a result only a few places in America have ever had the opportunity to see and hear a live performance of the work. This all-new production in the directorial hands of Anne Bogart and Jeffrey Kahane is a bold and rare chance to revisit Weill’s final score.
